Paper Bag Puppets

Very simple puppets made from small paper lunch bags. You can make a raccoon, dog, cat, rabbit, bunny, mouse, pig, panda, or frog. 

Supplies needed:

• Paper bags
• Scraps of construction paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Markers or crayons
• Optional - googly eyes, pipe cleaners for whiskers 

Frog:

Make bulging frog eyes by cutting two strips of green paper that are rounded on one end. Fold the straight end under (at the dotted line), and glue on an eye (made of paper or a googly eye).	Glue or tape the folded base of the eyes onto the paper bag.
Cut a long tongue out of paper. Glue in in the frog's mouth.	Frog Glue on two short arms and two long legs, and decorate the frog with green paper patches.

Raccoon, Dog or Bear:

Fold the two square edges of a paper bag under (at the dotted lines), to form the animal's head.	You now have the shape of the animal's head.	Raccoon Cut out ears, eyes, and a nose. Glue them to the raccoon's face.
Dog Cut out ears, eyes, a nose, and a tongue. Glue the tongue inside the mouth. Glue the eyes, nose, and ears to the dog's face.	Brown Bear Cut out ears, eyes, and paws. Glue them to the bear. Using a black crayon or marker, draw a nose and mouth. Cut out tiny claws and glue then to the paws.
